Meir Feldman

Meir is the founder of Project 97b. He most recently served as the senior rabbi at Temple Beth-El of Great Neck with his wife Rabbi Tara Feldman. Before rabbinical school, Meir was a lawyer for over 7 years, first at a Wall Street law firm and then as an Assistant United States Attorney in LA.

Tara earned a bachelor’s degree in Russian language and literature from Vassar College and a master’s degree in elementary education from Lesley College, and was ordained by Hebrew Union College in 2001. She was previously a rabbi educator at Congregation Beth-Elohim in Brooklyn, associate rabbi at Temple Israel in Memphis, Tennessee, and a fellow at Hebrew University’s Melton Senior Educators program in Jerusalem. She also pioneered the idea to bring people together in “micro communities,” temple representatives said, and keep them from disconnecting from society.

Jamie Fleishman, son of Gene and Judy, is a student/teacher in the art of living. His soul centers around Jewish spirituality, intergenerational healing, and sacred community.
